You might be wondering, “So what the heck is this Monday Poll thing anyway?”
Well, it isn’t much of a poll. It’s more just a constantly evolving (devolving?), somewhat random list of questions I’ve been putting out to readers every Monday morning for the past three years, which I guess makes this somewhere around Vol. 186. I’ve always enjoyed reading your answers in the comments, and I hope you enjoy reading mine.

Mood:

A’ight. I could use a little more sleep (per usual). It’s supposed to be hot here today. Probably one of the last really hot days of the year, and I might try to sneak away to the pool for a few minutes this afternoon.

The most disorganized part of your makeup collection?

My eyeshadows. I’ve been meaning to depot them all and organize everything by color, but every time I set my mind to doing it I get sidetracked by something else.

Something that always cheers you up?

Watching Tabs while he sleeps. He’ll twitch and kick his little paws every once in a while, I presume while he’s dreaming about his former life as an outdoor kitty, chasing bugs, stalking lizards and lounging about in the sun.

When was the last time you “busted a move”?

Just last night, as a matter of fact. I was in the kitchen making tea and felt the rhythm hit me, so I belted out an improv version Planet Soul (“Set you free! Set you free!”).

Club moves make everything better.

Do you know how to fishtail braid your hair?

I do, but I haven’t worn it out in public in a zillion years.

What’s the least used product in your makeup collection?

Hmm… Probably face primer. I go through phases where one month I’m into it, next month I’m not. I haven’t been into it for a long while, though. I think I’ve just been too lazy to go that extra step.

Fine in concept (like the whole one-piece-outfit idea), but I haven’t found one that works well for me. Who makes a cute jumpsuit designed for short girls with a big bum? Anyone?

A habit you’d like to break?

To be less critical of myself. That’s been a tough one to break.

Weekly goals:

Basically to keep up the good work with my exercise routine and continue tracking my progress using that My Fitness Pal app on the iPhone (four pounds lost so far, yay!). This is also the last official week of summer, and I want to end the season on a high note. I’m not gonna let myself sweat any of the small stuff. That’s it. Done deal.

G’morning, friend! Are you, too, obsessed with Ryan Gosling? I am, and I’m beginning to wonder if we should start a support group.

Last night I spent an entire hour watching vids of him on YouTube (don’t tell El Hub!), and in that time I found this little gem from his Mickey Mouse Club days. Zip to the 1:32 mark for the real joy (extra points if you recognize the other dudes in the clip)…

Now that you’ve likely snorted your coffee through your nose, let’s move on to the Monday Poll, shall we?

Karen, I met Ryan a couple of years back when I worked @ Holt Renfrew. He was at my counter (LA Mer), and he was so suave and very laid back. He came up to the counter, leaned on it, and asked me if “this stuff really that good?”, so of course, I told him that it was amazing and that it’s not only a luxuorious moisturizer, but a treatment as well, he told me that he would get the largest tub, which retails for about 1500 CAD- he got two for his mom- awww, how sweet! So, being a fellow Torontonian, I asked him what he was in T.O for, and he told me work, but taking some time off. Of course, who comes in, no other than Rachel McAdams, and they began making out at our counter, lol. Everyone was taking pictures- they were so sweet. Anyway, they left, and said thank you, and my parting words to Rachel? “Would you like any samples” – lolololol- as if she needed them, lol- omg- I get so starstruck sometimes!- this was a couple of years back- probably 2005. Just thought I’d mention it since you love RG!

Hi Advah! Yea, he did- it was very sweet. He really is a laid back kind of guy! He had no diva attitude about him at all, but he knew he was ‘all that”- he eludes that sexy self confidence, lol. Very nice guy indeed.

Friday night my church’s piano/keyboard player was doing a request concert. He mostly specializes in show tunes, but I figured, hey, Mamma Mia was on Broadway, I’m gonna request some ABBA. Not gonna lie, I was feeling “Dancing Queen!”

5. Do you know how to fishtail braid your hair?

No, but I think it’s a really cool effect when done well.

6. Least used product in your makeup collection?

Face primer. They keep saying it will minimize the look of pores, but I haven’t found one that does, so I usually don’t bother.

7. One way in which you feel daring?

There is no color I won’t put on my nails, and the sparklier and glitterier (is that a word?), the better!

8. How do you feel about jumpsuits?

I hate the idea of having to get that undressed to use the bathroom!

9. A habit youâ€™d like to break?

Negative thinking and worrying.

10. Weekly goals:

I’m going to an employment agency to see if they can help me find a job, so that’s one thing to get done. Other than that, I really, really need to give the bathroom a thorough cleaning.

1. Mood: Pretty good…went to bed relatively early (for me @ least) and woke up smiling so it’s a good day
2. The most disorganized part of your makeup collection? Oh boy…my eyeliners. I have so many and I need to organize them in the jars I have.
3. Something that always cheers you up? Watching either the SunDrop commercial or the new Kia Soul commercial w/ the hamsters & Halo game characters dancing to LMFAO’s “Party Rock Anthem” – cracks me up EVERY TIME. Oh & talking to 1 of my good friends.
4. The last time you busted a move? Yesterday…at Sam’s Club while food shopping w/ the parents. There was an open space so I simply started doing chaine (sha-nay) turns in the middle of an aisle.
5. Do you know how to fishtail braid your hair? Nope. I’m lucky I can simply do a twist or a braid on it LOL I’m hopeless when it comes to hair.
6. Least used product in your makeup collection? My eyelash curler. I’m going to give it to my friend. I don’t know y I bought it in the first place.
7. One way in which you feel daring? I will randomly start singing and/or dancing if the mood hits me right. It’s something I was known for on campus lol
8. How do you feel about jumpsuits? ::sigh:: I used to wear them. A lot. And now I look back and say “Oh My Gawd! What?! Was I thinking?!” so no go. Although I’m sure ppl can still rock them

Have a great week!!!!

S/N: I totally have that clip on VHS. A few years back when *NSYNC was really big & they had just released ‘No Strings Attached’ I believe, Disney was having an all-out Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, JC Chasez & Christina Aguilera overload playing every single MMC episode they starred in. Needless to say, as a HUGE *NSYNC fan I simply had to record all of them I got that particular epi and it is one of my favorites – who knew Ryan could kill it like that?!

1. Mood: Sickly – I woke up with a cold
2. The most disorganized part of your makeup collection? I’m with ya on the eyeshadow thing. I even have all the elements to do it – empty palettes, magnets, label stickers, etc. What I’m lacking however is, time and motivation.
3. Something that always cheers you up? The song Band On The Run – by Wings
4. The last time you busted a move? Saturday at Zumba class. Busting a move is a requirement.
5. Do you know how to fishtail braid your hair? No, and I just saw a magazine aritcle on how to do it so I’m going to learn and try!
6. Least used product in your makeup collection? Eyebrow pencil. I have eyebrow powder and I stick with it. I don’t enjoy the way the pencils look.

Be on time! Drink more water! and get stuff started for my hubby’s retirement cake. I’ve got fondant to make!

1. Mood:
Pretty good for a Monday. I had a really nice weekend, which helped

Lipsticks / glosses. I am extremely anal about my organization, but I can find the right fit for these. About half of the collection ends up in my purse before the week ends anyway – haha!

3. Something that always cheers you up?
Dogs or babies. Either one will do the trick. Even better if I can snuggle with them

4. The last time you busted a move?
We used to have X-mas parties with all of our friends where we would drink wine and dance to old school hip hop. Since almost all of our friends now have babies and have moved, it has been a while I would say X-mas 2009

I do, but I have a pixie cut, so I don’t think that will be happening for a long while.

Liquid eyeliner. I used to be obsessed, but with gel liner and kohl, I find that I rarely use the liquid anymore.

7. One way in which you feel daring?
I am not afraid to try something different – whether it be food, clothing, hair or makeup. I used to be concerned with the way that I might be percieved, especially during sensitive college years, but now I just do what makes me happy!

Love them!!! I only have a jumper right now, but I am eyeing some on ASOS. They have some pretty nice options!

9. A habit youâ€™d like to break?
I bite my nails and pick at my cuticles. I have done this since I was very little – maybe started when I was 3 or 4 years old. I have gotten a lot better, but the only true way for me to avoid it, is to constantly have my nails painted and manicured. I would like to be able to not wear polish every once in a while, but I haven’t gotten to that point yet.

2. The most disorganized part of your makeup collection? um, how about everything? i’m organized enough that they’re all in their little compartments but inside those compartments is another story altogether :p.

To be less critical of myself. Thatâ€™s been a tough one to break. – DITTO.

2. The most disorganized part of your makeup collection? The makeup collection itself is strictly organized into divided bins by colour, and brand. However, the lotions, oh the lotions. They are a jumbled mess in a box that I just grab from the top of when I need.

1. Mood: Meh, whatever. Numb in a monday morning sort of way.2. The most disorganized part of your makeup collection? Hmm… Probably my nail polish. Everything else lives in a carefully organized drawer organizer from IKEA that I’m obsessed with. It’s call Godmorgon, I think? Who can remember those crazy names 3.

Of things that I still feel like are “essentials,” I’d say red lipstick.7. One way in which you feel daring? Hm… I always feel a little daring when I consider that I moved from the south to sunny california five years ago this week. It wasn’t hard for me at all, but so few of my friends from home have moved away that I feel pretty brave. Actually, come to think of it, it was five years ago today! Crazy coincidence.8. How do you feel about jumpsuits? I love the idea of them, and plenty of girls rock them, but I’ve never really tried… I bet I’m too short.9. A habit youâ€™d like to break? Taking things personally when they are clearly not about me.10. Weekly goals: Ugh, renew my car’s registration. DMV, gag.

- Ummm… Probably my eyeshadows… I have panzz and panzzz.

2. The most disorganized part of your makeup collection? Everything?! Ha! no, I would agree on the eyeshadows, as I have all my cheek products in a container, my lip products in another, and my eyeliners/mascaras in another.. but the eyeshadows? Everywhere!
3. Something that always cheers you up? My dog. I went and saw him yesterday, and just seeing him instantly cheered me up. He’s getting old, but he still has a spark in him.

5. Do you know how to fishtail braid your hair? Yes. Not great, but I do!

8. How do you feel about jumpsuits? Other people look fantastically stylish in them.. but I don’t think they’d look good on me, and I don’t think my boyfriend would.. well.. “get” them.
9. A habit youâ€™d like to break? My inability to let things/people go. No matter how long ago it is, I still feel the emotions I felt with them like I’m in the past. Plus I’d like just to clear them outta my brain so I have room to learn some cool stuff!
10. Weekly goals: Enjoy aerobics and yoga, get better, and get some cleaning done!

1. Mood: Very productive for a Monday. No scheduled meetings makes being productive alot more attainable!
